IE9 Preview 2 is out

Looks good, they are making steady progress.

Here are some sunspider results from my laptop, core2 duo 2.4ghz

358 chrome 5.0375.29

371.4 opera 10.53

611 ie9 ctp 2

766 ie9 ctp 1

928 firefox 3.6.3

Who wants a full browser anyways? I just want something that I can use on occasion and complain when it crashes or renders something in an undesirable way. If people were suddenly unable to grumble about their browser, message boards would start filling-up with other nonsense, like poop jokes.

Yeah, but is IE9 faster than a potato?

Tell the IE9 team that if they're going to do the potato test, don't point it to Channel 9... The potato will win in that case

Has no one yet wrapped that control in a full browsers' frame? no one?

If I had more free time, I would recreate the the potato gun and goo filled speaker. That would be fun.

Exactly... Browsing is Sooooooo 1990’s

I just want to run synthetic benchmarks and blog about how cool I am and how stupid all you noobs are.

- Yes, it doesn't affect normal IE.

- It's a developer preview. It doesn't even have a back button. Some of the demos from the preview site are fun though.
